Routine maintenance set for Pender Utilities water storage tank

HAMPSTEAD – Pender County Utilities will begin routine maintenance on the Hampstead elevated storage tank, located near Topsail High School.

“The tank will be drained to allow access for maintenance,” said Bryan McCabe, Interim Director of Pender County Utilities.

Although the Hampstead storage tank will be out of service for up to three weeks, Pender County Utilities does not foresee any immediate issues of concern or loss of service. The Topsail Elevated Storage Tank will still be in service to provide fire protection in the event of an emergency.

“It is possible residents in the Hampstead and Scotts Hill areas may experience less water pressure or a possible episode of discolored water,” said McCabe.

For more information regarding water service in Hampstead and Scotts Hill, please call Pender County Utilities at 910-259-1570.
